Certainly not the UFC, they have great numbers for most big cards but nothing approaching the sales of Oscar and Floyd.

And right now there's simply no other draw to compare with Oscar. Floyd against anyone other than Oscar isn't going to get close to that.

The only possible fight that could match it is if Floyd beats Marquez and Manny beats Cotto and then Floyd and Manny fight. That would certainly be one hell of a crazy fight and would generate massive interest but I still doubt it would beat Oscar and Floyd.

And outside of that fight there is most definitely nothing else on the horizon at all.


Agreed.

UFC 100 was their landmark event and did a little over a million in buys from what I read yesterday. I don't see them breaking that alone for a very long time, much less 2.4 million. 10 years maybe if UFC gets as big as Dana White plans on it being; but still I wouldn't bet on it.

Only thing I could see breaking it would be Pac/Floyd; and I think it will be close but still falling short.

Maybe in 20 years if we ever get some great heavyweights on the scene again it could get challenged.

If Pac/Mayweather can't do it, than it will remain untouchable for a long time imo.
